Phone photo dump (april-ish)

A random assortment of random pictures from my phone...  

so many sweet moments to capture!

Whenever they get this close for more than 5 seconds without needing assistance, I run for my phone or camera.

He is just really, really sweet.  All.  Of.  The. Time.

Dressing a boy is REALLY fun.  Looking spiffy in his church clothes.

Playing with toys is really hard.  Such concentration!

She's become a big fan of drinking her cereal milk after she's done with her Cheerios.  It's hilarious and usually ends up a mess but we don't cry over spilled milk around here!

Smiley Wy!  We are loving watching his personality emerge.  He is SO happy, SO easy going and SO sweet.

We enjoyed a way too quick weekend with my parents this past weekend.  Lainey took her Papa on a walk up and down the street.  Too cute.

Checking out her library loot from last week the very minute we got home.

I love him.

This is Lainey's current favorite puzzle.  She calls it her "AB's" ... She can probably recognize and say 10-15 letters depending on the day, thanks to this puzzle, some ABC cards and a few apps we have in the iPad.  If you ask her to sing her ABC's she'll sing, "A...B...C..." and that's it.  It's pretty funny.  Today she did recite, "A, B, C, D, E, G" in order, but she left out the F.  I know I was a teacher for 4 years, but teaching her things like this is way different compared to long division and reading comprehension strategies.  It's so funny to try and teach someone something that is so second nature to us, like the alphabet.  It's really fun to watch her learn and remember things.

Sometimes, I've got to pull out my big guns and that means suckers.  You gotta do, what you gotta do sometimes.

Phone Photo Dump

Life with 2 kids is really sweet.  There are a lot, I mean A LOT, of moments worthy of a picture.  Sometimes I don't have my camera handy and I know if I walk away to get it, I'll distract said sweetness and miss the moment.  I usually have my phone near or in my pocket so some moments get captured that way.  

There is just so much joy and cute-ness I get to experience throughout our days... I am so blessed.  

(Plus, Daddy and the grandparents sure appreciate the pictures too! :)

 This kid sleeps so much.  He is so great.

 We are slowly but surely figuring out our new normal for the 3 of us during the days.  This picture is nothing short of a miracle in itself!

 Everyone needs a little tummy time!

 My little bargain shopper and I on a Mommy-Daughter date to Target the other night.  I loved our one on one time!

 Monkey see, monkey do... (She is wearing my nursing cover and (was) holding her baby... like Mom does :)

 He is SO adorable and is starting to have more awake times!

Diaper changin' time for all of the babies! :)

Love these simple and sweet every day moments!
